new beginnings, a.k.a. the jitters.

i really don't want to go to bed. if i go to sleep, then i'll wake up, and when i wake up, it will be tomorrow, and when it's tomorrow, i have to start my real-world non-grad school life. as much as i hated the lab, at least i knew what was coming.

this first night in bed by myself has me worried. deep down, i know this was the right thing. on the surface, it's hard to reconcile temporary with the long-term. i'll miss so many little things (like our walks with gemma at night, working on my own schedule in the lab, dinner every night with hank, being able to make my own messes, walking around the house in anything i please, even if it does not involve pants, and just being in my own home).

i have to think bigger and better and about the house we haven't bought yet, the kids we haven't had yet, and all the free time and happy memories we're about to make. here's hoping 2007's a good one. off to a fresh start...
